It is hard trying to juggle everything to have someone help you look after your kids after a c/s. If I have another c/s this time, I have no idea what I am going to do either. DH can't take 6 weeks off work in one go - he is a branch manager and just can't have that long off all at once. He is free to come and go from work as he pleases so he can head in late and come home early, but it is a bit of a worry. I have family around but I don't want to ask them to take time off either ... my other option is to look at putting DS into occassional care for a few weeks - DD1 will be at kindy and I should be able to manage DD2 at home. I am just tossing around a few different ideas - I am aiming for a VBAC so I am in a different boat to you, but having had a c/s already, I realise it is a possibility that I will have to have another one.

Don't know if that helped much, but you aren't alone in wondering what to do. It is an issue for lots of families. At least thinking about it now gives you lots of time to explore your options ... good luck
